Another Fox News Sunday Without Democrats
Although last week, Chris Wallace paid tribute to retiring Executive Producer Marty Ryan, his replacement is off to an unfair and unbalanced start, judging from this week's guest list of two Republicans: Senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Rand Paul of Kentucky. The result was that no guest was there to rebut Graham's shocking suggestion that, as Think Progress reported, the government "protect the Defense Department from automatic spending cuts by slashing $1.2 trillion from the Affordable Care Act." UPDATED.
Read moreWill Bill O'Reilly Call Out Ted Nugent's Disrespect To US Congressman?
As part of his God given job of "looking out" for us, Bill O'Reilly has discovered that there is "an epidemic of disrespect" which, in Bill's alternate reality, is caused by public schools. So in the interest of consistency, inquiring minds want to know if O'Reilly will be using his show to call out Ted Nugent who was recently quite disrespectful towards RI Congressman Jim Langevin (D). Nugent has been praised by O'Reilly who said that Nugent's "straight talk" is just what the GOP needs. But Nugent's "straight talk" now includes an attack on the congressman who, based on Nugent's history of violent rhetoric aimed at the president, questioned Nugent's presence at the State of the Union Address. Nugent subsequently accused Langevin of being "brain dead" and having "shit for brains." Langevin, a former RI Secretary of State, is a quadriplegic as a result of a gun accident. What say you Bill O'Reilly?
Greta Van Susteren: The Obama Vacation Police
Greta Van Susteren doesn’t seem too concerned about the Republican stunt to temporarily block the nomination of Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense. But last night, she spent an entire segment suggesting that President and First Lady Obama are wasteful spendthrifts for taking separate vacations next week.
Read moreOn Fox's 'The Five' - Kimberly Guilfoyle Isn't Giving Up Salami For Lent!
Is Fox's "The Five" really a low level "improv" show that's done for comedy? These jokers can't be serious, can they? Nobody actually would sit around making the kind of mindless commentary, made by The Five, unless they were attempting to be humorous, right? Because if Wednesday's discussion of Lent (a popular subject on a supposedly secular network) was supposed to be serious, it wasn't. And if it was supposed to be funny, put it this way, SNL has nothing to worry about. But we did learn that Kimberly Guilfoyle can't give up salami for Lent because she loves it so much. That's what she said ;)

Ever-vigilant Fox culture warrior Todd Starnes has found another example of the godlessness of modern society: just before beginning a wrestling match, North Carolina high school student Nicholas Fant dropped to his knees in prayer, and the referee gave him a warning for delaying the match.
Read moreFox News Paints Free Pre-School As A Government Hand-Out
Fox News just can't seem to pass up an opportunity to paint President Obama as the Supreme Welfare Queen enabler. Or maybe it's just that they hate public education. Whatever the reason, the "we report, you decide" network presented President Obama's call for universal pre-schooling as, "free stuff to people who will vote for you in the future."

In case you've been wondering, I've long thought Fox was grooming Herman Cain in order to hire him for staff - but was just waiting for that pesky sexual harassment scandal to be old news. Well, it is and they have.

Leave it to the Murdoch newspapers to throw cheesecake and sexism into their coverage of the disturbing case of the arrest of Olympian Oscar Pistorius for murder.

On yesterday’s Your World, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) provided his cure for Social Security. “I have been advocating for quite sometime now that we lift the cap that we currently have, Clyburn said.” But Cavuto kept interrupting to make the discussion about raising the retirement age instead.
Read moreMore Irony! Bill O'Reilly Advices Kids To Do Acts of Kindness For Lent
You just can't make this stuff up. Well, you can if you're Bill O'Reilly. While O'Reilly's Barcalounger, Fox faith based audience might believe Bill's bloviation, anybody familiar with O'Reilly's toxic track record is sure to greet his "Tip of the Day" hypocrisy with howls of derisive laughter. As America's big propaganda pimping daddy, O'Reilly is now treating the folks to daily sagacity known as the "Tip of the Day." These tips frequently offer advice geared towards raising children such as teaching them to be kind because that's "good karma." He also provided America's kids advice on Christmas (not "holiday" or Hanukkah) gifts. Last night he advised children that rather than giving up something for Lent, they should do acts of kindness on each of the 40 days of Lent. The cognitive dissonance of Bill O'Reilly promoting kindness is quite extraordinary.
